#18 The coat of the Bolognese is long and soft on the body and forms the breed-typical flakes, which are not close-fitting but should stand out a little to give the dog a generally fluffy appearance.
The fur is shorter and straighter on the bridge of the nose alone. The preferred color is pure white, but the ivory color does not lead to breeding disqualification and is tolerated. Although Bolognese dogs hardly shed, they need grooming with a comb or brush two to three times a week and even daily during the change of coat; the hair around the eyes can be carefully trimmed with scissors, trimming is not necessary.
